Reviews of cameras, lenses, tripods, heads and other accessories written by Felice Placenti

The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator.

Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM

Pros: Large maximum opening; Sharpness Blurred Strength Excellent correction of aberrations; Low dispersion lenses; Lightweight and unwieldy to be an F/2.8; Bright colors.

Cons: Lack of tropicalization; Lack of stabilizer.

Opinion: I own this lens from 2012. Bought for astrophotography, so I don't feel the need for the stabilizer. However I also use it for other photographic genres such as landscape and nature. For the landscape I use mounted on the tripod, so I do not need the stabilizer (and if he had I should deactivate it); Useful for isolating a detail. For nature I use it at the minimum distance (adjust the selector) on flowers and other details, as it will result in excellent sharpness and an exciting bokeh. The colors are brilliant. In Astronomy You can consider yourself as a small astrographer. It provides excellent photographs of stellar fields, open clusters, large nebulae. Useful in the photography of conjunctions and eclipses when you also include the landscape. The low dispersion lenses guarantee a very good chromatic aberration correction and very punctiform stars. You feel the lack of tropicalization! Overall a very good goal. Delighted with the choice I made.

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: Excellent sharpness; Excellent distortion correction; contained chromatic aberration; Extreme versatility; Tropicalization AF very fast.

Cons: Slight vignetting visible at the corners; Weight and footprint; When tilted downwards, the zoom tends to stretch towards 105 mm... You can fix it with the classic elastic method.

Opinion: I own this zoom from 2012 and I always carry it with me for its extreme versatility, coupled with my EOS 5D Mk II. I can leave the other lenses at home, but that always follows me. Excellent the focal excursion: it guarantees an interesting angle of field at 24 mm, while up to 105 mm manages to cover most of the photographic situations. A bit cumbersome and heavy, however it gives a nice impression of robustness and solidity. The ring nuts are very fluid and flow on a regular basis. The stabilizer is sufficient. Useful lens in the close up since the slightest distance between front and subject lens can fall to about 25 cm (45 cm from the sensor), but the bokeh leaves it to be desired (it is still a zoom). At the minimum distance a reproduction ratio of about 1:4 is obtained. It is necessary to be careful in the photographs against the light, as there may be annoying internal reflections. Since the L series you should expect more, but overall it is a great goal, all-rounder, satisfactory. Aberrations are easily correctable with the most popular post-production software (I use Lightroom).
